After disappearing into my own bedroom to use the bathroom, I went to the kitchen and poured a glass of whiskey for Bane and myself. We moved in a tense silence—him sitting on the sofa and logging into his laptop, and me pouring drinks and then sitting beside him. With the intimacy we’d shared by the fire, I wanted to touch him every second I watched him get everything ready. Just because he’d made his views about us going any further clear didn’t mean I could turn everything off. There was something between us that neither of us could deny, no matter how hard he tried to claim he wasn’t good enough.

“Are you ready for this?”

Bane’s question pulled me out of my thoughts. Setting his glass down on the table, he turned to look at me, meeting my eyes as I stared at him without realizing it.

I nodded and took another sip of my drink, closing my eyes when the liquor burned its way down my throat. The truth was that I wasn’t ready for any of what was happening to me, but it didn’t matter. It all seemed to burn me in the end.

“Do we know what news channel it played on?” I asked, watching him navigate through screens.

Pulling his phone back out of his pocket, he flipped through the messages. “It looks like all of them—WDSU, WWLTV, FOX8, and WGNO for sure.”

Dread burned the back of my throat when the realization hit me that everyone was finally seeing the truth about Joshua. I thought I was going to vomit but blew out a breath, doing my best to will the sensation away.

Setting my drink back down, I nodded and turned my eyes to the laptop’s display. “Okay. I’m ready.”

His finger hovered over the button for a few slow heartbeats. After a moment of staring at the still screen, he turned to look at me. It was clear there was something he wanted to say to me, but his hesitation only turned my stomach more.

“Bane? What’s wrong? “I leaned back on the sofa, grabbing a throw pillow and holding it against my chest.

His eyes flicked back toward the laptop before returning to me again, only adding to my unease. He blew out a breath and I found myself taking it in. “Before we watch this, there are things you need to know.”
